How about the banking system forced on Japan after ww2, or the wmds in Iraq? Or the terrorists in Afghanistan?
Or the communists in Vietnam?

There seems to be a boogeyman around every corner. Better send some democracy to fix it.

Or are you under the impression that we secretly conquered their country and forced them to erect a statue of our most beloved president, bill clinton


Along with the eu, nato, and un, yea that's basically what happened to yugoslavia.

Did depleted uranium just happen to fall on key targets for no reason?



Wow, just go from one absurdity to the next after realizing your words were entirely false?

Only in the mind of leftists...



Explosives fell on a lot of the monsters attacking innocents in genocide attempt.

After doing everything possible to convince the monsters to stop killing.

And one leftist spy managed to change coordinates of an unrelated building in what was perhaps the world's first act of digital terrorism.


None of that in any way supports your absurd claim of American imperialism.

Or puts ccp marxists in any better light than I did when you objected.

Yup, one leftist delusion to the next.

When cornered by own lies in face of someone who isn't here to suffer fools.


You mean while we were using massive amounts of American resources to help a defeated enemy rebuild? Hardly meets any definition of imperialism. Exactly the opposite.

WMDs in Iraq is a fairly good example of a mistake or falling for enemy deception, but in NO way supports your absurd claim of American imperialism.

We killed a lot of terrorists in Afghanistan after they attacked us and others many times. Many escaped us in Afghanistan only to be later hunted down in places like Iraq. Your point? Hardly supports absurd claim of American imperialism.

Suggest you ask ccp why we stepped in to help vietnamese people. Again, our actions in no way support your absurd claim of American imperialism. Exactly the opposite, actually.



Nice that you tried though.

Most leftists are too embarrassed by this point.

Have any more?

That's actually a contradiction in terms. Like having a Homophobic LGBT society, or Jewish Nazi.


What about people like me? I'm a lesbian in a mans body.
Does that mean I have to be liberal?

Either way if it makes the founder of BLM look even more like
a hypocrite I'm a go.


I'm pretty sure that you get to choose your politics.

Capitalism is not a sham, it works as intended. And you damn well know how it works.


Capitalism works just fine, what the Chinese have is not capitalism.


China is actually more capitalist than the US right now because of the low level of regulation and the high dependency on market forces.

Trump used tariffs and trade restrictions to alter the market.

Sure, we 'believe' you.



Just curious, what % of business are owned by ccp in china?


Pretty sure that's the exact opposite of free market capitalism.

Critical Race Theory is simply a divisive crock of #.

It most definitely IS NOT Marxist.
The very first reply in this thread pretty much explains things.
www.abovetopsecret.com...

'The left' has been hijacked by middle-class intelligentsia elites who have no understanding of traditional 'leftist' goals and objectives and who care very little for improving standards for ordinary, everyday people regardless of race or creed.

Imagine thinking that racism is an issue in the United States

It’s not

Agree with your first sentence.


Disagree on the second, but understand why, and it doesn't really matter after agreeing on the first.

You're right that debating the ideology of it is pretty much semantics and has no relevance to the practical implications of CRT and its hugely negative impact on society in general.
CRT is by its very definition racist by design.

But, nowhere in traditional Marxist-Leninist ideology, or Socialism for that matter, does it advocate anything remotely like CRT.
Marx, Engels, Lenin, Trotsky or any of the Marxist intellectuals - as with most belief systems there are many - would ever support anything that preached division within the working classes.

Recognising that shouldn't equate to support for Marxist-Leninism etc.

Exactly the same applies for the vast majority of the utter bollocks pushed by the woke agenda.

Agree with nearly all of that.


Main difference I see is that leftists have been working very hard for a long time to replace class with race for marxist struggle in U.S.

Substitute race for class and all ingredients are there, and stated objectives are identical.

Call it a hybrid adaptation of marxism tailored for U.S., after more traditional efforts were overwhelmingly rejected here.

You may be right.
You clearly are more informed of how things are in the US than I.

Traditional Marxist-Leninism and 'leftist' ideology in general have been thoroughly demonised in America.
People have a paranoid fear of anything and everything 'leftist' and see 'Red's under the bed' everywhere.
The details of the how's and why's are probably a discussion for another time.

The thing is; the whole 'woke' agenda has been dreamed up and driven by a very small minority of self-entitled middle-class 'intellectuals' secluded from 'real life' in their academic ivory towers who have developed some sort of guilt-ridden angst for their privileged background.
They arrogantly believe they are far more intelligent than the rest of us and that they know what is 'right' and just.
They have hijacked 'the left' and are using it to force their policies on us all.

But the thing is; why are the people who have the money, the real power and control letting them get away with it?
What do they get out of it?

I like this post!

I struggled for words to say the same.

Is deeper and more honest than last 2 trillion talking head segments.



Hope it leads to more discussion.
